Postai Advice For Xmas Mailing Another Christmas brings on the annual rush of mailings in greeting cards, letters and par- cels. It is a rush time for all and especially the postal staff. The mailing public can assist at this busiest season by following the suggestions listed below. For greeting cards, separate local delivery letters from out- of-town deliveries, and tie them in separate bundles, mail them in this manner at street letter boxes or at the Post Office, where you will note provision has been made for separate mailings. For important first class mail, if quantity warrants, it too, could be tied in bundles, afiZr- patrons are requested, if mail- ing at the Post Office, to hand it in at the general delivery wicket. Regarding rates, greeting cards with no more than five written words and in unsealed envelopes, will require 2c post- age, for third class handling. If mailed in sealed envelopes, the usual letter rate of Sc applies, and this mail will receive first class handling, the same as im- portant business mail. For distant points, air mail will speed delivery of all mail at better than first class hand- ling rate. Deadline dates for a guaranteed Christmas delivery have been published on the post office notice boaxd• for the past month, and deliveries for Great Britain, Europe, etc., are now Past; however, air mail will still arrive for Christmas if posted as follows: Forletters to Great Britain by Dec. 16; for Europe by Dec. 14; for parcels td Great Britain, Dec. 14, for Europe by Dec. 12. For deliveries in Canada and the United States, folders have been distributed to all patrons of the Post Office and more are available on inquiry. For lo- cal delivery, mail before Dec. 17. If posted later, the Post Office can only do its best. Again patrons are reminded that parcels should be securely packed, wrapped and tied, ad- dressed plainly and properly, and on all mail show a return address.

(Photo .by Phillips) Engine Reassures Council; Sewage Job Over by Christmas Seaforth Councillors were re- assured at a special meeting of Council, held Monday evening, as to the capacity of B.C. Con- struction to complete the sewer contract which the company holds from the !Own. Meeting with the council was E. 0. Raw- son, representing the town's consulting engineers, Reid and Associates. of Toronto. Mr. Rawson told council that there. was no reason why the company could not complete the installa- tion of sewers in Seaforth be- fore Christmas. The meeting was called to consider action that might be taken as a result of doubts that existed as to the capacity of the company to complete the work. No work had been done for several days last week, Mayor McMaster told council, and on Friday steps had been taken to determine just what the situation was. Instructions had been issued to the consult- ing engineer to make a com- plete investigation, and it was to report the results of ,the in - vestigation that Mr. Rawson out had existed almost from the was attending the meeting, the Mayor said. Concern as to the progress of the contract has been express- ed over a period of the past couple of months. At each council meeting the matter was raised, and it was indicated the wet weather was contributing to the difficulies. On each oc- casion complaints were regis- tered with the contractor and the consulting engineer. While the contract provides that not more than 400 feet ,of trench be opened at one time, it was reported that open trench existed at various points. In addition, roads that had been torn up, were impassable weeks later. Mr. Rawson told council the situation looked serious Friday but that upon investigation things were found to be in bet- ter shape than he had anticipat- ed. He offered no explanation as to why the consultants had not taken steps to correct the situation that council pointed KIPPEN EAST WOMEN'S INSTITUTE CELEBRATES TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY Kippen East Women's Insti- tute observed its twentieth birthday at a gathering in Hen- sall Town Hall Friday evenia, when 135 members, former members who had been mem- bers since its inception and had moved away, and husbands were inattendance.

Students Complete ShAdy Course At Northside School commencement of work. • I Councillor Christie said work was under way. on grading • and gravelling the lane east of Main St., and he thought if work'. continued the lane could be op- en to traffic in a couple ' of days. Pointing out colde.r_weather would be helpful, Mr. 'Rawson recommended the contractor be permitted to finish his centract. He said he had discussed it with K. Bentz, of B.C. Construction, and Mr. Bentz had promised he would personally supervise the work. He was obtaining addi- tional men and it was felt there would be no further difficulty. Councillor H. H. Leslie, chairman of the sewage com- mittee, agreed it would be un- reasonable to take steps to re- lieve the contractor of the job, I since it was so nearly fninshed providing, of course, that the town engineers were agreed the company could do the work properly. Necessity of repairing Main Street was stressed by Reeve N. Scoins, who mentioned °Main St. South, Mr. Rawson sug- gested final work on the streets should wait until spring, since there would be much settling. He said the contract completion date was iviarcn next year. Special care is to be used in pouring cement in cold weather, and the contractor agreed to heat gravel and water and use salt in the mix, Mr. Rawson said. He said completed pours should be covered with straw or manure. In answer to a question from Councillor Crich, he said work at the disposal plant was pro- gressing satisfactorily. and it could be finished in t w o months. Congratulating Colin llor Crich on the job that had been done on Christmas decorations, council agreed on two addition- al strings of lights on the Town Hall.
